 EA got it just right August 29, 2008
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
Year after Year, EA release a TW game and each year us gamers have to settle for just a few new courses and maybe some new courses and also maybe 1 or 2 "gimmick" features. So what's different about Tiger Woods 09 that would make the golf veteran come back or make newcomers more interested than before? First of all, Tiger Woods Coach Hank Haney is put into the mix, At the start of the game, he'll assess your attributes based on your first few shots. Then after each and every round of golf, your skills go up or down depending on how well you do. This actually works really well, it forces you to play well all the time even if you are 10 shots ahead of the pack in PGA Tour Mode. Another new feature, is the Club Tuner, now this allows the golfer to tune their clubs to their own needs and what suits them the most. Seeing as you can now add probably up to 60 yards more to your drives with this new feature, you may think it makes the game easier than before, well not exactly. Each hole now provides a different challenge. On a reachable par 4, do you go for it and risk maybe being in the rough or the bunker, or do you play it safe and make sure you have a close approach? If you chose the first option, then doing this a number of times per round could severely decrease your stats.
So, Dynamic attributes is an absolutely ingenious feature and it works extremely well. Now finally, another great feature is the Online Simultaneous Play. Now, when playing online, this is optional in Stroke play. Whilst playing you still see everybody's shots and it's basically you against everybody else. It takes much less time than before. In 08, it took 40 minutes to play a 4 way stroke play and now it only takes 10 minutes. When you are not playing simultaneously or playing a team game, you still see other people take their shots but you can no longer see what club they're hitting, how much loft they're putting or even what power they're putting on. So this is much better than before, as it doesn't allow anybody to copy anybody's shots.
Overall, I give the game a 5/5, the graphics are much better than 08, the water looks sensational. I haven't really got that much to say wrong about 09 as it really is that good, which is something I normally don't say about EA. This year though, they got it just right.
Real Suprise for non-golf Fan October 20, 2008
My friend got this game... I said yeah I'll play. Thought it would last 5 minutes then back to something else...
What a suprise. We play it every night now, one on one. One or two things need changing- eg no playoff on 2 player if you draw a match- but generally this is excellent.
 On the prow again August 29, 2008

Ok here we go again tigerWoods 09 is again trying to create the most realistic golf sim out their, i have to say i have not seen any better, but when you have the biggest name franchise its easy to stuff the competition. Ok lets start with whats new , you now have the advice of tigers real life coach hank henney, who is quite useful maybe to new comers of this game but old hands know what it takes to progress their golfer to full potential. New to the game is the way you can now customise your clubs, you can go for all out power but this gives you less control or you can set them so you hit the sweet spot evry time , i went for a power over precision set up myself, Graphically there is very little inprovement to 08 which is kind of disapointing as i wanted glorious HD to be pushed to the limit but its not,the commentators have also changed, no more D Faherty but Sam Torrance and kelly are ok,courses are pretty much a mix of fantasy and real live events, the tour is the best feature off line, but changes to online now mean you dont have to wait for others to play there shots you can simultaneously play so thats good, online is great by the way if you have an ethernet account, Tiger challenge is simple to complete and is the best way to get your stats up, anyhow overall i think the changes to learning and increasing stats is good, hank henney is tiresome after a while constantly saying the samething over and over, yes its still the best golf game but its really a disapointment in the way its not improved since 08, thats why i can only give it 4 stars.
Great game, easy to pick up and play August 29, 2008

This is a good game, better than last year and seems to be easier to play. There are more courses and innovative new features like the club tuner.
This is one of those games that's easy to pick up and play and also very addictive. Recommended.
tiger 2009 PS3...much better than first impressions. October 4, 2008
Tiger 09 has a nice control system with an option of a 3-click swing for beginners. The harder levels are challenging with the wind making a big impression with difficult pin positions. The attribute system where you increase your skill by improving areas of your gameplay over the rounds can be frustrating, but encourages and rewards calculated accurate play. The shortgame attribute is particularly difficult to maximise on the harder difficulties and I think EA has this element wrong. Putting is interesting and fluent and fun as is hitting a big one off the tee. Courses and graphics are good (better than first impressions, the lighting etc is fantastic).
Online play is hit and miss, there is alot of connection issues with the servers etc with this PS3 game. When you connected in to other players ok then it is great fun with 4-ball, simultaneous stroke play etc etc.
This is one to get if you a tiger game fan...beware of loosing all your money in the online mode...theres sharks out there.
